COMBINATION BRUSH.

Application filed April 12, 1923. Serial No. 631,659;

To all whom if may concer/n:

Re it known that I, FRANois G. Ninn/sun, a citizen oil3 the UnitedStates, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State ot NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in CombinationBrushes, of which the following is a specification. y This inventionrelates to a combination brush and more particularly to a novel andimprov-ed cluster and polisher, particularly adapted for use in cleaningupholstery and interior of an automobile body.

One of the objects of my invention is the provision ot a brush havingmeans for dusting and polishing` embodied in the head or handle, so thatthe brush can be reversed and used for different purposes as whendusting the upholstery of the automobile body and polishing theframework or metal, in addition to removing an accumulation of foreignmatter in the corner which is inaccessible to the common type of brushor whisk broom that is usually used.

Another object of my invention is the provision of a brush wherein thebody portion is provided with a vpolishing and cleaning element on oneside thereof and a duster on the opposite side, the rear handle portionbeing provided with bristles permitting access to dirt and accumulationof foreign mat-ter in corners and crevices.

With the above objects in view and others which will be more readilyunderstood when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings,wherein a preferred embodiment has been shown,

Figure 1 is a side view.

Figure 2 is a vertical section through the head and the cleaning anddusting element.

Figure 3 is a view taken substantially on the line 3 3 of Figure l.

Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference charactersdesignate corresponding parts throughout the several views, 5 designatesgenerally a handle, preferably formed integral with a substantially widewooden head 6, the said head is provided with a central rib-7, extendinglongitudinally of the same and intermediate the sides thereof as clearlyshown by Figure 2 of the drawings. A plurality of cleaning elements,preferably in the form of felt pads are provided, the central pads orfelt 8 may be of dii'erent materialfrom the outer felt pads,v9, 10, allof said pads being secured at their bottoms and to the top face of thewooden head 6 by gluing the same or with any suitable adhesive,designated by numeral 11. A metal band 13 extends around the sides andlouter end of the head 6, said band having inwardly .projecting portionsILL-which grip and engage the felt pads 9, 10, to hold the sameinposition.

The bottom of' the head portion 6 is provided with apertures to receivethe upper ends of the bristles 14C, which are also glued and securedtherein, in the well known manner. On the opposite end of the handle 5,I have also provided bristles l5 of a size slightly larger than ashaving brush which v. permits of the cleaning of corner crevlces whereit is impossible to gain access to by the bristles 14er the felt padsabove referred to. The brush therefore, has a multiplicity of uses inthat by simply reversing the head `or the handle when in the process ofcleaning, the particular part may be engaged-with facility and ease soas to give the best results for the purposes intended.

While I have illustrated and described my invention with some degree ofparticularity, I realize that in practicel various alterations thereinmay be made. I therefore reserve the right and privilege of changing theform of the details-ol construction or otherwise altering thearrangement of the correlated parts without departing from the spiritof` the invention or the scope of the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention what- I claim as new kand desire tosecure by United yStates Letters Patent is :e

A brush of the class described comprising a handle having a head, alongitudinally eX- tending central rib in the top of the head,` Jfeltpads fastened to the top 'of the head andv on opposite sides of the`rib, and a xpad( clamping plate attached to the sides of the head saidplate being provided with serrated struck out portions engaging theouter pads.

In testimony whereof I aiix my signature. i
